How reliable would a 2002 MR2 be? And why the fuck are these

>>14132084
Chances are engines are fucked. There's a common swap with another toyota engine for these that supposed to make them god machines.

Snap oversteer and poor handling despite being "muh MR" format.

>>14132084
Problem with precats getting sucked back into the engine.
Compression test is mandatory if past 60k miles
>>14132091
This guy has brain damage

>>14132084
just get a fucking miata

>>14132091
Actually retarded poster right here. The ZZW30 is one of the best handling cars out there.

>>14132102
An miata does handle a lot better

>>14132108
no it doesn't.
next.

>>14132105

Then why're they being sold for less than a Hatchback Civic? Supply and demand. Nobody wants these slow cars. They're rusting in piece in junkyards, let em sleep where they belong.

>>14132122
because people are plebs and buy a miata over these

>>14132105
Not really, MR cars with short wheel bases are just shadows of their bigger wider cousins. You need a long wheel base. Technically the s2k is mid engine but it's nice and long

>>14132129

Pretty sure 95hp Miatas are faster than the MRs.

>>14132131
Mid engine generally refers to behind the driver, because almost every front engine car is technically Mid engine.

>>14132122
Because they take work to be really good, as another anon mentioned with the precats.
>>14132136
Actually delusional

>>14132131
no... no it's not, stupid.

>>14132136
the only reason the miata is more porpular is because of "le ebin cute pop-ups"

the sw20 turbo and the zzw30 ae miles better, specially modified

the sw20 was used in lemans and the mr-s was used in the JGTC

>>14132208
Oh yes.
And it was sexy

miatas btfo

END OF STORY

>>14132084
Is this car FWD or RWD or AWD?

>>14132505
RWD brother

>>14132505
MR2

mid-ship runabout 2 seater

or just mid mounted rear wheel drive 2 seater.

but its been way over an hour, no miatafags have tried to counter it, its official.

MR2 > Miata

in all likelihood these are probably not much like the street cars

still cool though

Not to be a contrarian but it is.

It's a front-mid mount RWD car.

If the entirety of an engine is behind the front axel it is technically a mid engine car.

Being behind the drivers seat isn't a good standard in the first place. You could have a MR or RR behind the driver seat.

>>14132091
"snap oversteer" is the most retarded meme ever, it's called "you're not driving a fucking front-engined car, so don't drive it like one"
